Oh say, can you play this one? Here's a great guitar version that is not too difficult to learn and robust enough for any performance! We'll do some hybrid picking, then eat some apple pie and root for the Rangers. God bless America.

Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.
